00:00Rosmah Mansour today said that the High Court's decision to free her of 17 money laundering
00:06and tax evasion charges was a belated birthday gift for her.
00:11Rosmah, the wife of former Prime Minister Najib Razak, turned 73 on December 10.
00:16She said this was the justice she was waiting for, adding that she would relay the good
00:20news to her husband.
00:24Rosmah was standing trial on 12 money laundering charges involving RM7.09 million and five
00:30charges of failing to declare her income to the Inland Revenue Board.
00:35Justice K. Muniandi said the charges against her were illegal and flawed as they did not
00:39comply with provisions in the Criminal Procedure Code.
00:44Rosmah still has an appeal pending before the Court of Appeal over her conviction in
00:48the RM1.25 billion corruption case on a solar energy project for rural schools in Sarawak.
